Brown Shoe Company (NYSE: BWS) (brownshoe.com) today announced it plans to release its fourth quarter 2014 financial results before market open on Wednesday, March 11. Company executives will host a financial analyst call at 9:00 a.m. ET that day, to discuss fourth quarter earnings and to provide a general business update.
The dial-in number for financial analysts in North America is (877) 217-9089, or (706) 679-1723 for international analysts, and the conference ID is 94046375. To participate, please dial in a few minutes before the scheduled time. Employees, the media and the public are invited to listen to the call at investor.brownshoe.com/news/events.
A replay of the call will be available through Wednesday, March 25, 2015, by dialing (855) 859-2056 in North America, or (404) 537-3406 internationally, and using the conference ID 94046375. A webcast replay will also be archived for a limited period at investor.brownshoe.com/news/events/archive.
The company also announced it is realigning its reportable segments, following the sale of Shoes.com in December of 2014. The new segments align with the way the executive team evaluates performance and allocates resources, and are also consistent with the company’s omni-channel approach to managing its branded footwear business across all distribution channels.
“Our new reportable segments are designed to align our brands and businesses with our internal operations and to provide increased financial visibility,” said Ken Hannah, chief financial officer of Brown Shoe Company. “We expect this new reporting structure will improve clarity for investors and allow for easier financial modeling and peer comparisons.”
The reportable segments will include the following:
- Famous Footwear will include Famous Footwear retail operations, on a historical and continuing basis, and Shoes.com through December 12, 2014.
- Brand Portfolio will include Healthy Living and Contemporary Fashion wholesale brands and any related retail operations.
Quarterly historical segment results for 2013 and 2014, are included in this release as schedules. The company’s fourth quarter and full year 2014 results will reflect the new reportable segments.
